Red Bull’s F1 test programme has been put on hold while the team waits for spare parts to arrive.
It comes after Isack Hadjar’s heavy crash on the second day of Barcelona’s private shakedown left Red Bull with insufficient parts to repair their new RB22 challenger, according to respected Dutch journalist Erik van Haren.
Hadjar was unhurt in the shunt but the impact caused substantial damage to the rear of his RB22 and cut-short Red Bull’s second day of running.
On Tuesday evening, Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies said his side would need to assess the damage before deciding when they can conclude their test programme for the first week of pre-season testing.
Red Bull now face a race against time to receive the new parts and fit them to their 2026 car so that they can complete their third permitted test day on the final day of running on Friday.
